IRS, AP, Benghazi: Doesn't responsibility rest with the president?

AP reporter Jim Kuhnhenn asked Jay Carney at today press briefing, “the White House right now is confronting a confluence of issues, Benghazi talking points, IRS reviews of political groups, Justice Department’s review of journalists’ phone records, and in every instance either the president or you have placed the burden of responsibility someplace else… But it is the president’s administration, so I wonder, doesn’t responsibility for setting tone, for setting direction ultimately rest with the president on these matters?”
